Headache Chiropractor Charlotte Provides Natural Relief Options

By Roxie Ocegueda


Got a headache? You might be surprised by its source. A large number of so-called tension headaches are actually cervicogenic. This means that they start in the spine rather than in the head. This can be caused by misalignments of the neck, an imbalance where the head (remember, an adult head weighs 8 to 10 pounds) meets the neck or by muscular tension.

Chiropractic care can relieve the root cause of these "cervicogenic" headaches, rather than just popping pills and waiting for them to go away, as many of us do. These therapies are science-based and proven to reduce your dependence on drugs and reduce headache frequency.

The pain one feels is a symptom of a larger problem only masked by medication.

For long term relief, it is important to get to the root of the problem. Chiropractors use techniques such as the Atlas Orthogonal as part of a patient's individualized approach plan to restore proper balance to the neck and upper back region, which in turn relieves the pressure that was causing the pain.

They can also help with other issues including back pain, digestive issues and the like - the entire goal is to restore overall balance to the body. The symptoms we experience are only a tiny fraction of what is going on in the body to cause them, and they reveal some kind of underlying imbalance which, if corrected, will restore optimal health.

People with chronic headaches could greatly benefit from the drug free and non-surgical approaches of chiropractic medicine. The doctor will also provide suggestions on how an individual may minimize their chances of a recurrence.

Headaches can be debilitating or even disabling - so stop powering through them or wasting time in a dark room with pills and find out how a chiropractor can relieve the underlying cause and reduce or eliminate your symptoms.
